get a good grinder (stepless), dont overfill portafilter and make sure your shot is around 20-30 seonds. Most baristas say 2 in 25 (2 shots in 25 seconds), but that is a ruff guideline and what ever tastes best around here is what you want to use. shots that go in under 10 seonds tend look alot more yellow than dark brown/orange.
Never sink wand to bottom, always keep it just under the surface, what tends to happen if you sink the wand is that even if you did have nice foam to start with, the volume tends to increase alot because the milk rolls more at the bottom and the foam rises and starts to settle at the top, the water in the milks drops to the bottom and then the air in the foam at the top just starts increasing in volume. Although you can use this to your advantage when doing cappa’s.
heres what i do, I put the wand to the back of the pitcher and make it roll more vertically the around in a circle, the tip wand is pretty much resting against the edge and I then tilt the pitcher alot, about 30 degrees so the tip is shooting into the side of the pitcher. I find this helps lots as it limits bid bubbles and makes steaming cappuccino (4-5oz milk) alot easier as it tends to not heat up so quickly and can add air right up to nearly turning off.
I’m looking to get one of these after my pump espresso machine broke, I thought i’d go with a good long lasting machine. I did the same with my stove top steamer, I really don’t understand why they bother with 2,3 or 4 hole all they do is seam to cause problems. As you are dealing with more than one jet of steam and keep your on both whilst the milk is heating up quicker than with one is very hard. I found that 2mm was the best which is about 5/64 inches, maby a tad smaller would help.
I made a tip with a 1/16 hole, but I had much better results with a 3/64 hole. The micro-foam was twice as good. Did you try 3/64? If not try it and see what you think.
You can contact me directly by email using my contact information on this site. If you want to buy one you can get it from orphanespresso – just go to their site and search for brooklynshot.
How can I contact you? I am interested in getting the one hole steam tip. Do you sell it?
I went with the Pavoni due to cost – I was able to get a used machine locally for a few hundred less than an Elektra. I’ve used both and they each have their own unique qualities – I like the looks of the Pavoni better but the Elektra base is more stable.
probably the best espresso related video about!! What made you decide on the La pavoni over the Elektra equivalent?
I also use home roasted beans, but I don’t get good result like yours. Even though the crema is thick, but it’s lighter and doesn’t have much of “tiger mottling” on top of the crema. I might have to work more on water’s temperature and pressure.
They are just normal double shots, but pulled with fresh home roasted beans – with fresh beans the crema just keeps on coming!
Hmmm those espresso look so good. Are they a ristretto or just a normal double?
Espresso is not exactly sweet …as in a sugary taste unless you add sugar. However a properly extracted espresso shot pulled “ristretto” can be a wonderful experience, full of chocolate overtones and a thick mouth feel. Adding milk, properly steamed can bring out the natual lactose sweetness in the milk and results in a drink that won’t require sugar.
Ive never had an espresso. Are they sweet?
Thanks
I made the portafilter with a hole saw and a drum sander. I posted on coffeegeek about the tips. You can also get on from orphanespresso. Look under brooklynshot in both places.
I home roast. But I also get Gorilla, Black Cat, Gimmie and Counter Culture.
which brand off espresso beans do you like best ?
Where did you get the ***** portafilter and how did you make the steam tip
